WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LTC Properties Inc. (NYSE: LTC) (“LTC” or the “Company”), a real estate investment trust that invests in seniors housing and health care properties, today announced that it has re-leased 10 of the 35 properties in its Brookdale Senior Living (“Brookdale”) portfolio to Brookdale under a new master lease.

The six-year master lease will commence on January 1, 2024. Rent in the first year is set at $8.0 million, escalating by approximately 2% annually. The lease includes a purchase option that can be exercised in 2029.
